Cannot recommend

Revisado: 01-16-25

The female audio narrator, Saskia Maarleveld, did a fantastic job but the male performer does not match her skill; his narration is lackluster and he seems to lack professional reading ability required. Because of his inadequacy performance, the audiobook ends up being frustratingly disjointed, throwing me out of the narrative as a result and the story’s plot/character development wasn’t strong enough to compensate.

Intense & visceral

Revisado: 05-28-23

Second time reading it, years later; haunting, stayed with me since I first read it shortly after it was first published.

Problematic background noises & character devel’mt

Revisado: 04-13-23

Loud, distracting sounds, such as reader swallowing & heavily inhaling air, can be heard; it’s as if someone neglected to edit this installment in the series.

As other readers have noted, the character of Daniel is portrayed as highly disturbing; he’s verbally abusive, physically intimidating, and Molly admits more than once to being afraid of him. Their relationship is portrayed as one of codependence and potential domestic violence; it’s unfortunate the characters ended up married. Molly ends up deceiving Daniel, as usual; and the fact that she puts herself and her unborn child in such danger make for a very disturbing installment in this series.

Absurd

The audiobook narrator is fine, the author’s writing skill, IMO, is not. Implausible action & disgustingly violent detail.

Narrator’s pacing makes story unintelligible

Revisado: 02-20-19

Sorry to say, had to return this audiobook (something only done once before & been member since 2008). Will exchange this for print or ebook format, eager to finish the story.

The narrator’s pacing is off so much I could not make sense of her lines. Adjusting the playback speed wasn’t helpful. Seemed as if she’s lacking needed experience; or she was obligated to read against her will & rebelled by paying no attention to pacing/inflection, it was that bad. (Ignore my obligatory star rating; story seems fine otherwise.)

Confusing

Revisado: 01-30-10

The meditation narrative in this audio makes no sense. This is the first audio I've been dissatisfied with, and I've been with Audible for years. I ordered this one because I am very satisfied with the "Rest & Sleep" by the same author, but this script is random nonsense.

Excellent "sleeping pill"

Revisado: 11-13-09

I am more of a chronic night owl than an insomniac, and I've tried many, many types of solutions that might help me unwind, fall asleep and keep on a schedule. I must say, this audio is amazing! Nothing I've tried has ever worked so well. I've had it a few weeks and have yet to make it all the way through without falling asleep! Even if I awaken in the night it will put me back to sleep. The more I listen to it the better it seems to work as I can actually "see" the visualizations now. The two speakers accents don't bother me, I like them in fact.
